Signs of spring appear on a sunny day in February as Snowdrops, Daffodils and Crocus fill the church grounds of St Luke`s in the village of Newton Harcourt Leicestershire. Come with me through a white gate and enter a space often associated with loss but instead bursting with life in all its forms as springtime brings color and light.

I visited the Churchyard of St Luke`s in the Leicestershire village of Newton Harcourt to see the beautiful display of Snowdrops that happen once a year. Being a Sunday I was greeted by the ringing of the church bell beneath a crisp Blue sky calling people to the Snowdrop service and the sounds of voices singing well known traditional hymns such as All Things Bright And Beautiful an accurate description of the scene in front of me.

Join me as I explore the Churchyard of the picturesque Church Of St Luke near the Leicestershire town of Wistow which springs into life with a riot of Snowdrops and Crocus flowers carpeting the ground. My Live Periscope replay here  https://www.periscope.tv/Leigh984/1YqKDXleYDQKV

A look at the wildlife and scenery in and around the Leicestershire village of Wistow, look out for the beautiful Grade 2 listed St Luke's church in Newton Harcourt surrounded by snowdrops and a pair of acrobatic squirrels perched precariously on the end of a branch. You`ll also ask yourself just what is that phone box doing in the middle of the woods ?. More images follow
